Wisconsin mine owner hiring militia goons...
Like the article says, this is reminiscent of the 1920's and 1930's, when "businessmen" hired Mob goons, Mussolini's and Hitler's men to harrass union people under the guise of fighting "communists."

An Ominous Alliance: Militiamen Showing Up in Wisconsin as Mining Co. 'Security'
By David Neiwert
Imagine taking a hike in your local woods and coming upon characters toting semi-automatic weapons, dressed in camo and wearing masks. Then imagine finding out they are militia-movement followers hired by a mining operation to protect against "eco-terrorists."
That's what's been happening to people living in northern Wisconsin lately. And these are the kinds of guys people are encountering in the woods:
The first of these goons to show up on behalf of the Canadian mining company -- Gogebic Taconite, or GTAC -- that wants to rip these woods apart were employed by an outfit from Arizona called Bulletproof Securities. Then they quickly vamoosed when it emerged that they were not licensed to operate in the state of Wisconsin.
In short order, a new set of goons appeared as security for GTAC's President, Bill Williams, in his recent appearances in Wisconsin. And these men were wearing the logos of a Patriot/militia organization called the Watchmen of America -- though true to the "leaderless resistance" model of action these "Patriots" espouse, the Watchmen's organizational leaders are denying any involvement, while in effect conceding that members may be operating in Wisconsin without their approval.
